Canada's Pierre Poilievre and Danielle Smith Conservative Party's are like magnets attracting stupid Flat Earthers, anti-vaxxers, Convoy nitwits and AB separatist clowns to not just accept but to promote their crooked culture of alternative facts, ignorance, stupidity and flat in your face, lies.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

The Alberta separatist referendum is a democratic legitimacy crisis in waiting. It's yet another unwelcome American import from Canada's most pro-America premier. #abpoli #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/09/17/o...

Danielle Smith is sowing the seeds of a democratic legitimacy crisis
Forget about banning American imports. In Alberta, the government is actively importing as many aspects of their political culture as possible. The latest: election denialism.

Spending time this weekend getting ready for work next week? Not if you're Doug Ford! He started his summer break on June 9 and still has 4 weeks to go until he's back at Queen's Park. Wish you had 19 weeks of summer vacay? Should've become a deeply corrupt politician afraid of transparency, babes.
Doug Ford wears a blue apron and pretends to know how to barbecue. It's unclear which of his four homes he is at in this screenshot from a video. It could be his mom's home in Etobicoke that he inherited when she died. It could be his cottage on Fawn Lake. It's probably not one of his two condos in Hallandale, Florida.

Doug Ford. He's just like you and me, folks.

Petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives won’t state a position on counter-tariffs, warning they may cause further escalation. Um, chaps, bending over will certainly incite more demands by the 🇺🇸USA Nazis. Read your history, for the love of God. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼 www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

Pierre Poilievre once called counter-tariffs Canada’s ‘only tool’ in the U.S. trade war. Now his Conservatives say it’s not that simple
After more than a year of trade turmoil, Conservatives are now insisting that Mark Carney owes Canadians an explanation for what derailed a potential trade deal with the Americans last

In Parliament Conservative nitwits are ranting about 'crime' when rates are actually down. 2006-2015 Harper and Poilievre crime bills included a 6 month mandatory minimum sentence for growing pot for personal use, subjecting even terminally ill Canadians using medicinal pot to criminal prosecution.

100% guarantee. Poilievre will survive his leadership review, even if it is a low margin of support. Following, there will be many conservative MP's leaving the party, and will either join the Liberals or sit as independents.
